Phillips Diamond Vision Bulb Review with Pictures

Thought I'd do a little review thread on the Diamond Vision bulbs made by Phillps.

Now I've used Phillips bulbs before, not these particular ones, but overall I think they are a very good quality bulb makers. Definitely recommend.

Now onto the Diamond Visions, it does say on the packaging that these bulbs are NOT road legal.

Standard Headlights and Sidelights:

As you can see from the photo's that their is quite a yellowish tinge to the headlights :thumbdown: which is what i wanted to get rid of!!

My Opinions:

I think it's great improvement over the standard bulbs. I tried to take the photos as close as where i took them on the standard bulbs, so people could make their own decisions on them.

As for light output I don't think it's increased the light output greatly but do feel i can see a bit better when driving in the dark, not sure if this is to due with the different colour temp or not. The standard bulbs just seemed to blend in with the streetlights IMO

As for colour, on the box it does say that the colour temp is 5000k. So a pure white light. So much better than the yellowish bulbs.

Overall I think a great headlight upgrade for the money. Mine cost £32.99 off a seller on eBay, but looking around on specialist headlight websites they seem to price at around £39.99

Any opinions or Questions welcome

Hey I'm thinking about buying these too.

My only concern is that they look blue on the outside.

I disgust the way some cars look with that blue shine (fake xenon bulbs), even when the lights are not on.

Can you take a picture of yourcar, in clear daylight, without the lights on? I want the look to stay original, and not a bit blue in the headlights.


An example

Rabbit1986: I will take some tomoro for you dude.

They are blue When you look at them when they are not on. However in the reflector headlamps there is a shield around the bulb so you ever see the tip of the bulb anyway.

Took some pics for you today to show the bulbs when they are not on like you asked!
